Chapter 587: Force Mighty (I)
Hmmm-
There was a burst of eagles in the sky, and Wu Tu stood above the castle looking at the dusk, and there was a faint sound of thunder rolling among the clouds in the distance, according to the news from the scouts, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty had pushed over to this side, and many checkpoints in Guishan City had been broken. Thinking of the wolf king once again made Mo Tu faintly uneasy.
He is now in his forties, and in the past years, he was also a brave warrior, and in this life, perhaps turning to the Han people will be his biggest stain, but he has no choice, coming to Guishan City, even if he poisons and kills Shanmeng, the hesitation will make him think of his wife, parents were thrown off the tower, and finally his children...... The continuation of one's own life......
As long as he hesitates a little, the governor of the Han Dynasty will definitely kill them, Mo Tu never doubts this, a person's eyes don't lie, that person is like a pair of wolf eyes, thinking of this, for no reason, Wu Tu shuddered, the iron sword in his hand trembled slightly, dripping blood, he turned his head and looked at a trembling child not far away.
The grandson of the fierce - Lan Yu.
“.…… You have grown up, and you know that it was I who killed Shanmeng, your only relative. ”
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword, Mo Tu slowly raised his arm, took a step, the child retreated timidly, biting his lower lip, tears fell down, "Lan Yu doesn't want to die......"
The light of the sky came, and he was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be a familiar voice in his ears: Father, save me-
After taking two steps, he stopped, he stared at the young figure for a while, and slowly lowered the raised iron sword, "Take Prince Lan Yu to rest." After all, he gave up on the decision to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he turned around and left here with his iron sword, and there were still many things to deal with for him.
Kill Shanmeng, the follow-up problems urgently need to appease the leaders of the various departments, otherwise Guishan City will not be attacked by the Han people, and he will have civil strife, he went down the stone steps, and the front hall below was divided into two groups of people, and the sound of quarrels came intermittently.
"There is no sin in smitting? I remember clearly, Yu Chengcheng was slaughtered, why was he able to escape, he didn't explain to us yesterday, and now he wants to be the king of Dawan?! ”
"He is the vice king, Shanmeng is dead, and he is the king!"
Someone excitedly walked out of his seat and spat on the opposite side: "What king?" He must have colluded with the Han Dynasty to kill our king! In order, it should also be Lan Yu to inherit the throne! ”
Several of the tribal leaders here are all people who are inclined to the dead Shanmeng, or the Second Master King, and now Shanmeng is no longer there, but most of them prefer to take the throne of the child Lan Yu, so it is in their interests. On the other side, there were three tribal leaders, who seemed weak in numbers, but they did not lose to each other in terms of momentum, holding the hilt of their swords and glaring at them: "If you can't solve things with a loud voice, then use war to speak." ”
"I'll kill you now—" Someone drew his sword with a thud.
"Stop!"
In the midst of the noise, there was a sudden loud shout, which made everyone look at the man who walked down the stone steps, and the latter's cheeks bulged for a moment, and his voice sank: "I only ask you one word." ”
"Who among you can stop the Han Chinese? Yu Chengcheng is an important border city, even if it is not as strong as Guishan, but it is not much worse...... Two hours and then gone! Have you seen the Han Chinese soldiers? I've seen ....... Dawan can't win this war at all......."
He looked at the surging crowd opposite with fierce eyes, turned his head to look outside the palace gate, the sunset dyed the sky red, and the soaring black dots crossed from the line of sight, "........ exchange kindness for Dawan's tranquility, what's not to do?" Your interests will not be touched, I promise! ”
The goshawk streaked across the red glow.
From west to east, over the migratory crowds, tribal villages, large wheat fields, vineyards, and then stooping down and sprinting through the woods at the foot of the mountains, let out a distant cry, overlooking the land, the extended army is stationed to rest, it flutters its wings and rushes down, and finally lands on the arm of a cavalryman looking high, bending its beak and slowly combing its feathers.
The Wuhuan people who received the information hurriedly conveyed the information again, and when the fast horse passed the tents one after another, Gongsun Zhi and Dian Wei and other guards were inspecting the camp to visit the soldiers of the wounded barracks, all the way west, how many soldiers would be injured in the battle, but the whole situation was not too serious.
On the other side was followed by Gongsun Yue, because of his age, he was transferred to the rear camp as the head of the camp to deal with some and heavy affairs, and at this time he was accompanying his nephew to patrol the camp, chatting while walking.
"After the governor marched west, the killing intent became heavier and heavier."
"Uncle thinks I shouldn't slaughter the city, or shouldn't I threaten my family?"
"Probably the latter...... When people get old, some people can't hear about women and children being killed. Gongsun Yue looked at Gongsun Zhi, who was walking in front of him, stroked the gray beard under his chin, slowed down a little, and his expression became serious: "I have made too many killings, and I am afraid that future generations will criticize you too much in the future." ”
"That's okay, it can reduce the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and achieve the goal, how can I care if I criticize this kind of thing?" Gongsun Zhi looked at the soldiers who were busy walking by, stopped in front of a wooden couch, looked at the soles of the feet of a wounded soldier who were badly worn by the march, and his fingertips were bloody, he took a breath and told the medical craftsman who rushed over: "Don't be stingy with herbs." After a moment, he turned back and continued: "...... Dawan's topography is very important, it is not only an iron nail in the back of the Western Regions, but also a front station to enter the west, rich in materials, and a very favorable rear support, which must be taken down as soon as possible to let the Western Expeditionary Army gain a firm foothold here. ”
"Uncle is just a little worried about you......." Gongsun Yue was talking worriedly, outside the wounded barracks, there was a sound of horses' hooves approaching sharply, and he narrowed his eyes: "...... What's going on over there? The rear camp is not allowed to ride horses without authorization, I'll go and see ......" Before walking out of the camp tent, the herald on horseback had already jumped off his horse, ran quickly to this side, and handed over the information of Guishan City to the west to the two of them for the first time.
- Shanmeng was killed, and the troops were pacified, and Kaesong surrendered.
The old man was slightly stunned.
Gongsun Yue didn't know much about the killing of Tu's family that day, and after reading this sudden news, the look on his face showed surprise when he raised his face to look at Gongsun Zhi. The tall figure walked over, glanced at the information in the old man's hand, probably guessed the content, and smiled at Gongsun Yue, "...... Uncle rest assured, my nephew has always understood what he is doing, and now that Dawan has fallen, it will be time for us to surrender in the near future. ”
The news then spread to the whole army, many people roared in the camp in high spirits, and some people felt pity that there was no chance to attack the city and fight, especially the grassland people who tasted the sweetness......
The Han military camp, which was ready to enter the Guishan territory, received the news of the surrender of the Emperor at this time, and after the night fell, they were invited to the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Zhi looked at the hanging map with his hands behind his back, and behind him was the main generals of the various armies sitting full.
"Although the governor of Wu Tu is in the front, he kills Shanmeng to replace his position, and his momentum is greater than before...... Zhang Ren sat in the tent and arched his hand: "...... Beware of fraud! ”
"Just wait for him to go out of the city to meet the lord, and take it together. Anyway, Guishan City has surrendered, what's the use of keeping him?! ”
"It's just a city, why would I, the Han people, do such a thing that is untrustworthy."
In the tent, Gongsun Zhi handed over the lamp in his hand to the attendant, returned to the long case and looked at the generals who had already lowered their voices below: "Bo Fu is not bad when he says no, why can't I Han people be untrustworthy, since I promised to let him be the king of Dawan, this previous discussion will remain unchanged, but it is still necessary to deter the rest of the Dawan tribal leaders." ”
The people around them did not speak, waiting for the following.
In the flickering light, Gongsun Zhi raised his hand, pointed to the sheepskin map hanging over there, and slowly spoke: "Bordering Dawan is Guishuang, this country was established by the Dayue clan that was defeated and driven away by the Xiongnu. ”
“.…… But the capital of this country is south, and there is not much conflict with us, and it has something to do with my Han somewhat, I intend to send to explain the reason for borrowing the road, and the rest side can't get around, but the rest country and Daqin often fight, and our purpose should be the same, and it should not be difficult to borrow the road. ”
"But before that, the three armies assembled outside Guishan City and invited the nobles of Guishan City to see what the Han Dynasty military array was like! At the same time, I also warn all the Dawan people that there is only one way to resist and die, and I intend to elect the strikers of the three armies, if Guishan does not agree to take advantage of the ......."
"...... we'll just push it over!"
"Yes!"
The generals got up with a bang and bowed their hands neatly.
Compared with the previous battle, it has been quiet for a period of time, waiting for the development of the situation, and now that Shanmeng is killed, Dawan changes the king, as everyone expected, but people who are used to marching and fighting seem quite uncomfortable, and when they hear Gongsun Zhi's words at this time, the warlike people are boiling.
Five days later, the three armies gathered in Guishan City for ten miles, and Wu Tu and a kind of nobles also received the news from the Han army in the city, and went out of the city to observe the Han Dynasty's heroic military exercises.
